“I am incredibly grateful to Mikayla and Justin for being so patient and caring for my senior dog Leyla. Thank you so much!”


2. Malik L.

“Malik was great with our dog, Olive, who generally doesn't like not being with us. He also sent us pictures and updates on how she was doing during the day, and was easy to communicate and schedule with. Thanks, Malik!”


3. Eileen P.

“Eileen and her husband were WONDERFUL! I am going to be regularly booking with Eileen. I got updates throughout Paco's day and felt completely safe leaving him with her family. Paco seemed to have enjoyed himself and I can't wait to bring him back :).”


4. Zuleima V.

“Zuleima accepted our request last minute and was very flexible and communicative, also through pictures! Virgola seemed very happy of her time there and loved playing with her kids—she didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely consider booking again. Thanks!”


5. Stephanie P.

“Stephanie took wonderful care of Obie during his first-ever day of daycare. We got lots of sweet updates and he spent plenty of time outside. We are so grateful to Stephanie, who was flexible and easy going and clearly has a real love for and gift with dogs. We will be back!”


6. Brianna V D.

“Brianna took great care of Peanut. She was responsive in communication and kept me updated with photos of Peanut. I was a bit late in sending Peanut and early in picking up Peanut, but Brianna accommodated my schedule. Peanut seems to have made friends with Brianna's dog and is very happy when being picked up. Peanut also seems to have had a comfortable time on Brianna's bed.”


7. Sabina L.

“Great as always. Oggy came back very happy! Thank you!”




8. Howard & Kathleen R.
“My colleague recommended Howard to me as “the dog whisperer” and I can’t agree more! I was a little nervous to drop my pup off for daycare less than a week after rescuing her, as she is quite wary of strangers. She jumped right into Howard’s arms and apparently spent the rest of the day happy as can be cuddled on his lap. She came home happy, tired, and ready for dinner & bed! Howard also does a wonderful job of sending updates and photos throughout the day. The first day she went to Howard’s, my pup hadn’t pooped in 2 days and it was something I was worried about. He sent me a text as soon as she went so that I would have peace of mind. She has since been back to Howard’s a few times a week and I can not recommend him more!”


9. Liza L.

“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”


10. Na Young R.
“Nayoung is an exceptional dog sitter! From the moment I met her, I could tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. My two dogs, warmed up to her instantly. She kept me updated with many many photos and messages, which reassured me that my dogs were in great hands. They always have so bmuch fun with her. Lots of walks and cuddles which they absolutely love. I highly recommend Nayoung for anyone who needs reliable and caring dog sitting services! She is hands down my to go person.”

“Just wonderful!”


12. Steven & Claudia L.
“Steven was an excellent cat sitter, sent updates throughout my vacation, and went above and beyond with my cats, playing with them and making them feel loved while I was away. Thanks Steven!!”


13. Leany M.

“Leany was a great sitter, she looked after my dog on Christmas Eve. It was a busy day for me and without Leany's help, I wouldn't have been able to spend the day with family. I would definitely book her again in the future.”


14. Jasie J.
“Jasie is a kind and compassionate person to humans and animals. I've known her for a very long time and she's always been passionate about dogs and a dog whisperer even to the most difficult of dogs. I own a very wild and strong husky and Jasie was able to take care of her so well. She always took her out on time, gave her lots of exercise, lots of love, and even took care of the house too. I trust her with dogs more than anyone else.”


15. Olivia H.

“The best”


16. Anthony Q.

“Anthony and Monique are the absolute best! Cooper had a great time in their home. He especially had fun spending time with Lupie! I really appreciated the photos and the updates. Will definitely be back!”


17. Eliana S.

“As new Rover clients, Eliana and Michael quickly won our trust!! In the short time that we have known them, they have proven to be professional, punctual, and responsible. They are kind souls, and they take their entrusted duties seriously. We have so far utilized their dog-sitting assistance in two ways: first, boarding in their home, and second, sitting in our home. Eliana and Michael exceeded our expectations in every respect: consistent check-ins, asking excellent questions, constant communication. We will be using them again, and we highly recommend them to others in the New Haven or Yale community. My only regret in sharing this posting is my fear that their services will become TOO popular—and that I, myself, will not be able to book their services because of their ever-growing popularity on Rover!!!”


18. Bianka C.

“Bianka is a true dog lover and took care of my pup like her own. He seemed so comfortable, and the updates were much appreciated. I highly recommend Bianka and her family for a reliable pet sitter!”


19. Allie D.
“Allie is an exceptional pet caregiver! She is kind, caring, and truly loves animals. She has watched my dog on multiple occasions and he always comes back happy and healthy. Allie is one of his favorite people in the world and every time Allie comes over he is over the moon. I highly recommend using Allie for all pet care needs as she is responsible and loving! 10/10 recommend!”


20. Cheyanne P.


“What a great way to spend a day! My pup clearly had the best time with Cheyenne and her dogs (as evidenced by the photos), and it was a great peace of mind to know she was happy and well taken-care-of.”
